Summer Norwich bloggers meet up

Last weekend I had an awesome meet up with some fellow bloggers in Norwich at The Garden House pub. Most of the bloggers blog about fashion and make-up, so my husband Andy who is a lifestyle / photography blogger felt a little out of place at times I think! He is a wedding photographer based in Norwich

The yoga was by Helen Shepherd yoga. She was awesome and all the ladies who joined in did great in front of a beer garden full of people!

Also they did a social media talk. This didn’t personally do a lot for me as it wasn’t really aimed at bloggers, just mentioned hootsuite and similar… which I think every social media person I have ever talked to goes on and on about! I am not really a fan of social media though as it wastes so much time. It is a good tool to drive traffic to your website, so shame this wasn’t mentioned more. Although he was good, I am a social media grump! Too many companies spam it and it just ends up full of ads. I would have been interested in a chat aimed at blogging though and how to increase audience etc.

The hair tutorials by Lucy were awesome. Although secretly I would have liked some easier ones I could have a chance at recreating! hehe. This was a great relaxed chat covering all sorts on how to care for your hair. I now know not to brush my hair wet and use my tangle teezer comb instead.

Me and Andy sadly had to leave just as the wonderful Hannah started her singing. She is a very talented lady.

The goodie bag was crammed full and the following companies sponsored it:

This lip balm is multiple use as well! Daily lip balm, cuticle oil, split end smoother, eyebrow gel and more! Lasts up to 8 hours. #multipleuse #lipbalm #lipglam #nrwsummer #bloggerThis stuff looks in interesting. It’s 18 uses in 1! Made with organic oils. Smells divine. Main ingredient is lavender to help with stress and sleep. #helpswithstress #helpswithsleep #drbonner #lavenderoil #nrwsummer #bloggerI only discovered in the last few years how important a primer is before applying make-up, so really looking forward to trying this. To be applied before foundation to give smoother finish. #primer #makeup #bprepared #makeupprimer #nrwsummer #bloggerAnother item from the goodie bag…. black tooth paste! Seems odd to brush your teeth with charcoal, however it’s meant to help with whitening them. I’ll try to keep open minded! #blacktoothpaste #curaprox #whiteningtoothpaste #whiteteeth #blogger #nrwsummerRed toe nails is my favorite, so looking forward to using this soon! #angelicaLove this product. Comes with its own muslin cloth. Great at removing make-up and cleansing your face. Made by British bees 🙂 Available at waitrose #madeinuk #beauty #bloggersmeetup #beautyblogger #blogger #nrwsummer #waitroseThe wonderful Neal and wolf is back in the goodie bag again. LOVE this brand!!!! #smellsamazing #nealandwolfThese uv indicator bands were in my blogger’s bag at the weekend. These are single use bands, which change colour when you have been exposed to the sun for too long.
